A standoff between the Biden administration and the National Labor Relations Board’s general counsel ended Wednesday evening in the top lawyer’s firing, according to a White House official. The fracas over now-former general counsel Peter Robb’s tenure unfolded just hours into Joe Biden’s presidency.

It began earlier Wednesday, when the Biden administration asked Robb to resign, the White House official said, a precedent-breaking move first reported by Bloomberg Law.

If there is ever again a non-hard-left president, he should watch the next few weeks and follow what Biden does. D’s are smart. They get rid of every single person from the previous administration immediately.

R’s don’t understand this and pay mightily in the form of knives slid into their backs.

The Joe “Stalin” Biden purges have begun immediately. If you are not 100% in support of Democrat Communist party doctrine, you will be made a non-person.

People say “Biden,” like he’s making these decisions. Others are making them. Not Pudding Joe...

Let this be a lesson. If another conservative president is elected, he or she must be ruthless and get rid of any and all derelicts imposed by the Left. If that means they are tazered and hog tied, carried from the building and tossed into a van and driven offsite, so be it.

That’s kind of what I was thinking too.

as someone commented on a different thread, Trump would try to fire people and it would turn into a Scotus case.

That is, if Trump’s directive to fire was followed.

“Why in hell President Trump did not do the same thing immediately after taking office was his downfall....There should have been massive firings everywhere within his power...”

The previous Senate majority leader did not permit President Trump to staff the executive branch as he wished

McConnell and Ryan resisted President Trump from day one of his administration. It’s incredible what the President was able to accomplish in the face of the 5th columnists in the GOP. Their only objective was to preserve the Deep State and ensure it outlined the Trump Presidency. They succeeded and need to be defeated.

I don’t care what anyone says here, I ADMIRE this kind of moxie. I don’t support this false Presidency, but not even Donald Trump took it to the Rats the way they always do to us, and they do this every single time! Just fire everyone involved with the previous admin, no ifs, ands or buts!

Perhaps we should be preparing (should have already been preparing) lawsuits to slow or stop anything Biden tries to do.

hopefully I’m not the only one who knows Hiden Biden had nothing to do with this... Kamel-toe Harris fingerprints all over this one.
